Socio-demographic, behavioural and cognitive correlates of work-related sitting time in German men and women
Background: Sitting time is ubiquitous for most adults in developed countries and is most prevalent in three domains: in the workplace, during transport and during leisure time. The correlates of prolonged sitting time in workplace settings are not well understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the gender-specific associations between the socio-demographic, behavioural and cognitive correlates of work-related sitting time.
Methods: A cross-sectional sample of working German adults (n = 1515; 747 men; 43.5 ± 11.0 years) completed questionnaires regarding domain-specific sitting times and physical activity (PA) and answered statements concerning beliefs about sitting. To identify gender-specific correlates of work-related sitting time, we used a series of linear regressions.
Results: The overall median was 2 hours of work-related sitting time/day. Regression analyses showed for men (β = −.43) and for women (β = −.32) that work-related PA was negatively associated with work-related sitting time, but leisure-related PA was not a significant correlate. For women only, transport-related PA (β = −.07) was a negative correlate of work-related sitting time, suggesting increased sitting times during work with decreased PA in transport. Education and income levels were positively associated, and in women only, age (β = −.14) had a negative correlation with work-related sitting time. For both genders, TV-related sitting time was negatively associated with work-related sitting time. The only association with cognitive correlates was found in men for the belief ‘Sitting for long periods does not matter to me’ (β = .10) expressing a more positive attitude towards sitting with increasing sitting durations.
Conclusions: The present findings show that in particular, higher educated men and women as well as young women are high-risk groups to target for reducing prolonged work-related sitting time. In addition, our findings propose considering increasing transport-related PA, especially in women, as well as promoting recreation-related PA in conjunction with efforts to reduce long work-related sitting times.

Who uses height-adjustable desks? - Sociodemographic, health-related, and psycho-social variables of regular users
Background:
Sit-to-stand height-adjustable desks (HAD) may promote workplace standing, as long as workers use them on a regular basis. The aim of this study was to investigate (i) how common HAD in German desk-based workers are, and how frequently HADs are used, (ii) to identify sociodemographic, health-related, and psycho-social variables of workday sitting including having a HAD, and (iii) to analyse sociodemographic, health-related, and psycho-social variables of users and non-users of HADs.
Methods:
A cross-sectional sample of 680 participants (51.9% men; 41.0 ± 13.1 years) in a desk-based occupation was interviewed by telephone about their occupational sitting and standing proportions, having and usage of a HAD, and answered questions concerning psycho-social variables of occupational sitting. The proportion of workday sitting was calculated for participants having an HAD (n = 108) and not-having an HAD (n = 573), as well as for regular users of HAD (n = 54), and irregular/non-users of HAD (n = 54). Linear regressions were conducted to calculate associations between socio-demographic, health-related, psychosocial variables and having/not having an HAD, and the proportion of workday sitting. Logistic regressions were executed to examine the association of mentioned variables and participants’ usage of HADs.
Results:
Sixteen percent report that they have an HAD, and 50% of these report regular use of HAD. Having an HAD is not a correlate of the proportion of workday sitting. Further analysis restricted to participants having available a HAD highlights that only the ‘perceived advantages of sitting less’ was significantly associated with HAD use in the fully adjusted model (OR 1.75 [1.09; 2.81], p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
The present findings indicate that accompanying behavioral action while providing an HAD is promising to increase the regular usage of HAD. Hence, future research needs to address the specificity of behavioral actions in order to enhance regular HAD use, and needs to give more fundamental insights into these associations.

Bewegungs- und Gesundheitsförderung in ländlichen und städtischen Kommunen – eine qualitative Analyse zu den Rollen potenzieller Multiplikator*innen
Hintergrund
Kommunale Bewegungsförderung kann zur Vermeidung lebensstilbedingter Erkrankungen beitragen, ist aber keine kommunale Pflichtaufgabe, weshalb es in der Regel keine klaren Zuständigkeiten dafür gibt. Um zu verstehen, wie kommunale Bewegungsförderung in Deutschland vorangebracht werden kann, ist es wichtig, potenzielle Multiplikator*innen in städtischen und ländlichen Kommunen zu identifizieren und deren Rollen zu charakterisieren.
Methodische Vorgehensweise
Es wurden 18 potenzielle Multiplikator*innen der kommunalen Gesundheits- und Bewegungsförderung auf verschiedenen Ebenen (Bundesland, Landkreis/Stadt, Gemeinde/Stadtteil) in leitfadengestützten semistrukturierten Interviews zu ihrer eigenen Rolle sowie zu ihrer Wahrnehmung der Rollen anderer Akteur*innen befragt. Die Auswertung erfolgte gemäß der inhaltlich-strukturierenden Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz.
Ergebnisse
(Landes‑)Gesundheitsämter und Gesundheitskonferenzen nehmen eine beratende, vernetzende und fachlich unterstützende Rolle ein. Auf der Umsetzungsebene vor Ort müssen sich im Einzelfall Kümmer*innen finden, die in Stadt und Land unterschiedlich sein können. Die befragten Quartiermanager*innen sehen ihre primäre Rolle in der Arbeit mit den Bürger*innen, die Verwaltungsmitarbeiter*innen in der administrativen Abwicklung von Projekten.
Schlussfolgerung
Fachliche Impulse zur kommunalen Bewegungsförderung können über Landesgesundheitsämter an Akteur*innen in Landkreisen und Städten weitergegeben werden. Für die Multiplikation und Umsetzung in einzelnen Gemeinden und Stadtteilen müssen Verantwortliche vor Ort gefunden werden bzw. Strukturen aufgebaut werden.
Background
Community-based physical activity promotion can contribute to the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases. However, it is not obligatory and, hence, there are no clear responsibilities at the municipal level. In order to understand how community-based physical activity promotion can be advanced in Germany, it is necessary to identify potential stakeholders in urban and rural municipalities and characterize their roles.
Methods
Using guided semi-structured interviews, we asked 18 potential stakeholders at different levels (federal state, county/city, neighborhood/community) about their own roles and their perception of the roles of other stakeholders. The interviews were analyzed in a qualitative text analysis according to Kuckartz.
Results
Health authorities at the state and county level have an advising, networking, and professionally supporting role. At the local level, individuals who will implement the activities must be found. These can be different in rural and urban communities. The neighborhood managers interviewed primarily work with the residents, while the administrative staff is responsible for the administration of projects.
Conclusions
Health authorities at the state and county levels can promote community-based physical activity via professional input. For the multiplication and implementation in neighborhoods and communities, persons who take local responsibility must be found or structures must be established.
